I have luks set up on my server and it is kind of annoying to type the password at reboots (mostly power outages). Strictly speaking I do not need the luks, but I feel its good to have anyway. I was thinking of getting a yubikey and just leaving it on or at least telling a trusted family member where to get it and to plug it in when turning it on.
Has anyone over come a similar set up or issue?
For some clarity I am not a pro and the homelabing is mostly just a learning experience for me.
I have a yubikey setup to autounlock my laptop luks. It’s a bit of a pain to get setup the first time then it just works. Not sure it’s worth it for a home server unless it has some real valuable data on it. And in that case you wouldn’t want the key stored anywhere near it.
